The Miyanomori Ski Jump Stadium (宮の森ジャンプ競技場 Miyanomori Janpu Kyōgijō), formerly known as the Miyanomori-Schanze, is situated in the Miyanomori area west of central Sapporo. It gained prominence as the venue for the Winter Olympic Games in 1972 and the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in 2007.
In the 1972 Winter Olympics, Japanese ski jumpers swept all three medals in the normal hill event: Yukio Kasaya won the Gold, Shoji Konno took the Silver, and Seiji Aochi claimed the Bronze. This historic achievement remains vividly remembered by many Japanese, symbolizing a pinnacle moment in the country’s winter sports history.
The Miyanomori Ski Jump Stadium, where these feats occurred, is designated as a K90 hill size and is certified by the FIS (International Ski Federation). It serves as a venue for numerous ski jumping events throughout the season, including summer competitions. Located near Okurayama Ski Jump Stadium, just a 5-minute drive away, Miyanomori is renowned as a pivotal site in Japan’s winter sports legacy.
